What is a Virtual CIO (vCIO)?

In the fast-paced digital landscape of today’s business world, navigating the complexities of IT and cybersecurity can be a challenge. At Ashdown Solutions, we understand the unique needs of businesses across Sussex, Surrey, and Kent. We are thrilled to introduce our latest service – the Virtual Chief Information Officer (vCIO), a groundbreaking approach to IT support that blends cutting-edge technology with a personal touch.

Unlocking the Power of vCIO

What is vCIO?

vCIO, an acronym for Virtual Chief Information Officer, is an organisation or contractor that works as a company’s chief information officer (CIO) but as a third-party, as opposed to in-house. Unlike the traditional role of a one-man CIO, most vCIO’s consist of tech experts with the primary aim of collaborating with the clients, advising them, and performing tasks traditionally associated with the CIO.

Your vCIO will become your strategic partner in leveraging technology to achieve your business goals. This service goes beyond traditional IT support, offering a comprehensive approach to managing your IT infrastructure and cybersecurity.

VCIO or MSP

While vCIO’s are third party contractors that serve as a company’s Chief Information Officer, an MSP is a person or organisation that remotely manages the company’s IT infrastructure and end points, providing outsourced IT services.

The easiest way to differentiate between the two is that MSP’s perform predetermined tasks for their clients, while a vCIO plays a proactive and strategic role in decision making for the company.
